Which do you use? Or when do you use each of them? Just curious, with all this Pesach cleaning going on...

I would never give that as a wedding present & I live in CH. That's shower present stuff.

We use a lot of paper towels too. The cleaning lady has some shamttes that she uses but she uses paper towels too.

As I recall most people in Crown Heights don't give wedding presents.

Yup, but not shmattas they could buy at the dollar store themselves, or they could make out of old undershirts.
Sorry, thats not a wedding present.

I save bounty for when I fry my food. otherwise, it’s strictly towels, and I go through 5 a day, so what! We’ve saved some serious bux since I stopped plastic cups and bounty.

Also, regarding shmattas, I’m very picky! I buy the pure cotton burp cloths that are extra large, extra thick, and I keep buying new ones. I don’t use old clothes, ick.
